I think it's pretty normal. We too just went to Disneyland and I brought snacks and milk for the hotel but she ate very little except for breakfast (cereal and fruit). She rarely eats much when we go out to dinner no matter what she gets. I notice she chows down her first few days back at home to make up for it. I remember our trip to laughlin last summer where she ate crackers and milk the whole time.

Giving them a healthy snack right BEFORE we sit down at a restaurant also helps. That way they are already full and will just nibble on the unhealthy restaurant food. Running around an amusement park like Disney is really tiring... I know when I'm really tired (and hot) my appetite goes way down. Did you try stuff like popsicles or frozen yogurt? As long as they stayed hydrated and you offered healthy options I'm sure they were fine.

We also had our fridge stocked with stuff they usually like to eat. Still it did not help! We carried a few snacks with us when we visited the parks, but that too did not go very well. And as I wrote in my post, the restaurant food was a complete nightmare. I think the idea of letting go, relaxing a little and not stressing out too much is good. Thanks for sharing!

I have to say, I find it to be incredibly challenging to maintain the same standards while traveling. I basically had to relax and not stress out about our son consuming things he has never had before and I told him that certain things were 'special' and that he could try a little bit. I would hit the farmers' markets and health food stores and try and contribute when we were staying somewhere and make little healthy snacks to bring along if we were going to end up in a restaurant without healthy options. For example, I got some tortilla wraps and filled them with hummus.. Now that we are back home he doesn't ask for the chocolate cake or any of the other things he had over there.. we are back in our kitchen eating the food he was used to from before and even though I felt that I was poisoning him a few times..(my mom made greek donuts with this bleached white four which had a huge long list of ingredients and deep fried them in corn oil!) I think the battles we would have had if I tried to forbid him those things would've been worse.. Don't know if that is helpful at all...just our experience...
